NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in Thousands)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     These interim financial statements and the related notes contain the accounts of ATT Holding Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) on a condensed consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2009. ATT Holding Co. is a holding company which has no interest, operations or activities other than through its ownership of 100% of Ames True Temper Inc., (“ATT”) and ATT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘US GAAP’’) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the twenty-six week period ended April 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending October 2, 2010. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been recorded. All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as discussed in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

     In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance that defers the effective date of applying fair value guidance for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company adopted the new guidance during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The new guidance had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination:

• Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree;

• Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and

• Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.

     The Company adopted the new guidance during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The new guidance had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of the new accounting guidance. The Company adopted the amendment during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The amendment had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require new fair value measurement disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and

(Unaudited)

clarify disclosures related to level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The Company adopted the amendment in the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2010. See Note 13 for further information.

To Be Adopted

     In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require entities to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it controlling interest in a variable interest entity. In addition, enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity. The Company is required to adopt the amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adoption, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require a reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation required for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, the amendment includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The Company is required to adopt the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the requirement for the reconciliation for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adoption, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

     The cost of other acquired intangible assets, including primarily customer relationships, patents and covenants not to compete is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of 3 to 19 years. Amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2010 and thereafter is as follows:

April 2010 — September 2010	$	600
Fiscal 2011		1,200
Fiscal 2012		1,180
Fiscal 2013		1,166
Fiscal 2014		895
Thereafter		199
	$	5,240

5. Income Taxes

     The Company determines its income tax provision under the effective rate method. This determination includes making an estimate of the Company’s current income tax payable, effects of temporary differences, net operating loss and credit carryforwards and the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. In assessing whether or not deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, historical operating losses, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies are considered.

     As a result of the history of losses that the Company has incurred in recent years in the U.S., substantially all of the U.S. domestic deferred tax assets, including tax loss carryforwards, net of certain deferred tax liabilities, have been offset with a valuation allowance. The Company expects to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until it can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable tax jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets at a more likely than not level.

     Income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended April 3, 2010 was primarily comprised of income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries, withholding tax and U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings.

     Income tax expense for the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2009 was primarily comprised of additional valuation allowances and accrual of withholding taxes and interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense for the twenty-six week period ended March 28, 2009 was mainly comprised of additional valuation allowances and accrual of interest on unrecognized tax benefits partially offset by a reduction in current tax liabilities as a result of a change in Canadian withholding tax rates.

	Thirteen Week Period Ended
	April 3,		March 28,
	2010		2009
Unrealized loss	$	520	$	1,840
Realized loss (gain)		172		(767	)

Unrealized loss	$	1,602	$	13,682
Realized loss (gain)		290		(1,246	)
Total	$	1,892	$	12,436

     On September 1, 2007, the Company entered into an intercompany financing arrangement whereby one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries issued a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany note as part of an internal legal entity restructuring. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended October 3, 2009, the internal legal entity restructuring was reversed and a portion of the balance outstanding under the intercompany note was repaid. During the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2010, the remaining balance under the intercompany note was paid in full. The intercompany note was not long-term in nature. As a result, the impact of exchange rate changes on the note was recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     For the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2010 other expense primarily includes an unrealized loss of $700 related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary and an unrealized gain of $219 related to foreign currency forward contracts. For the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2009 other expense primarily includes an unrealized gain of $125 related to the U.S. dollar bank account and unrealized losses of $1,430 related to the intercompany note and $561 related to foreign currency forward contracts. Also during the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded a realized gain of $771 related to foreign currency forward contracts.

     For the twenty-six week period ended April 3, 2010 other expense primarily includes an unrealized loss of $1,480 related to the U.S. dollar bank account. Other expense for the twenty-six week period ended April 3, 2010 also includes a realized loss of $503 related to foreign currency forward contracts. For the twenty-six week period ended March 28, 2009 other expense primarily includes an unrealized loss of $16,264 related to the intercompany note and unrealized gains of $2,059 related to the U.S. dollar bank account and $578 related to foreign currency forward contracts.

11. Condensed Guarantor Data

     On December 17, 2007, as a result of certain corporate restructuring activities, ATT entered into supplemental indentures with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes (collectively, the ‘‘Notes’’) to include certain domestic subsidiaries as guarantors. The Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by ATT Holding Co. and certain of its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely, Ames True Temper Properties, Inc., Ames Holdings, Inc. and Ames U.S. Holding Corp., (collectively the ‘‘Subsidiary Guarantors’’).

     During the fourth quarter of the period ended October 3, 2009, the Company consummated an internal reorganization between the U.S. and Canada segments. Pursuant to this reorganization, a Canadian subsidiary of the Company transferred all of the outstanding shares of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a separate U.S. subsidiary. As a result of this reorganization, the Company has recast its condensed consolidating statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended March 28, 2009 and its condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the twenty-six week period ended March 28, 2009.

12. Related Party Transactions

     On June 28, 2004, affiliates of Castle Harlan, Inc., a New York-based private-equity investment firm, together with certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the Acquisition, CHATT Holdings LLC (“CHATT LLC”) was formed. CHATT LLC owns 100% of CHATT Holdings Inc. (“CHATT Inc.”); which owns 100% of ATT Holding Co.; which owns 100% of the Company. CHATT LLC and CHATT Inc. are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of ATT Holding Co. Upon completion of the Acquisition, affiliates of Castle Harlan, Inc. owned approximately 87% of the equity interests of CHATT LLC and certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries owned approximately 13% of the equity interests of CHATT LLC. The equity interests of CHATT LLC as of the completion of the Acquisition consisted of Class A Units and Class B Units, the terms of which are described below. The Class A Units and Class B Units were issued as strips of equal numbers of Class A Units and Class B Units (“Strips”). In addition, certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries were issued Class B Units (sometimes referred to as Class B Incentive Units) that are subject to certain vesting requirements which are discussed below.

     From time to time since June 28, 2004, CHATT LLC has issued additional Strips and additional Class B Units to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries that are subject to vesting requirements.

     All of the Class B Units that are subject to vesting requirements were issued pursuant to employee subscription agreements entered into separately between CHATT LLC and each employee that received such Class B Units (“Employee Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Employee Subscription Agreements, these Class B Units vest based on three criteria: (i) time vesting based on a five-year term, (ii) performance vesting based on the operating results of CHATT LLC and (iii) vesting based upon the achievement of a targeted rate of return upon a change of control of CHATT LLC. In addition, the vesting of these Class B Units is subject to acceleration in the event of a change of control of CHATT LLC. As of April 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009, there were 139,067 and 138,567 Class B Units, respectively, subject to vesting issued to management and members of the CHATT Holdings LLC Board of Directors who are not employees of ATT or Castle Harlan, Inc. These units may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred except in compliance with applicable securities laws. None of the Class A Units or Class B Units that were issued as Strips are subject to any vesting requirements.

     Each Class A Unit and Class B Unit, whether issued as part of a Strip or pursuant to an Employee Subscription Agreement, is governed by and subject to the terms of an operating agreement among CHATT LLC and each of its equity holders (the “Operating Agreement”). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement: to the extent any distribution of assets is made by CHATT LLC, the holders of Class A Units are entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution to holders of Class B Units; after the preferred return has been paid to the holders of Class A Units, the holders of Class B Units are entitled to receive any remaining amounts of any distribution on a pro rata basis; holders of Class A Units do not have any voting rights; and each holder of any Class B Units is entitled to one vote per Class B Unit on all matters to be voted on by the members of CHATT LLC.

     The above-referenced rights of the Class B Units are applicable only to those Class B Units that (i) were issued as part of a Strip and therefore are not subject to vesting requirements or (ii) were issued pursuant to an Employee Subscription Agreement and have become vested. Unvested Class B Units do not have any voting rights or rights to receive distributions.

     Each Class A Unit and Class B Unit held by employees of the Company or its subsidiaries is subject to repurchase by CHATT LLC or an affiliate of Castle Harlan, Inc. upon the termination of such employee’s employment.

     At certain times following the Acquisition, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-1 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the

20

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

holders of Class A-1 Units were entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-1 Units were otherwise identical to the Class A Units. In January 2007, all of the Class A-1 Units were converted into Class A Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

     Following the conversion of the Class A-1 Units into Class A Units, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-2 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the holders of Class A-2 Units were entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-2 Units were otherwise identical to the Class A Units. In January 2009, all of the Class A-2 Units were converted into Class A Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

     Following the conversion of the Class A-2 Units into Class A Units, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-3 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the holders of Class A-3 Units are entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-3 Units are otherwise identical to the Class A Units.

     The Company is party to a management agreement with Castle Harlan, Inc., an affiliate of the shareholder, under which Castle Harlan, Inc. provides business and organizational strategy, financial and investment management, advisory, merchant and investment banking services to the Company. The Company recorded expenses of $817 and $1,662 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended April 3, 2010, respectively, related to the annual management fee plus expenses which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The management fees plus expenses for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2009 were $832 and $1,638, respectively. The management fees are payable quarterly in advance in accordance with the management agreement. The amount payable to Castle Harlan, Inc. as of April 3, 2010 was $724 which is included in trade payables. No amounts were outstanding as of October 3, 2009.

13. Fair Value Measurements

     The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade accounts payable, derivatives and debt. Because of short term maturities, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, the Revolving Loan and Term Note approximate fair value. See below for further information related to the fair value of the Company’s derivatives and remaining long-term debt.

     The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, defined as the exit price or the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date, on a recurring basis relate to the Company’s derivative contracts which are mainly comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company utilizes the income approach as the present value technique to fair value each derivative contract. The Company calculates the present value of future expected cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the underlying risk of the debtor. If the derivative represents a liability to the Company, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate was utilized as the discount rate in the present value calculation. If the derivative represents an asset to the Company, the recorded value includes an estimate of a credit risk adjustment for the counterparty.

     A fair value hierarchy exists that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):

• Level 1 — Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Level 2 — Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose

21

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

	inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.
•	Level 3 — Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.

     As of April 3, 2010, the Company has two types of derivative instruments outstanding including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps that are both in a liability position. The Company used the three month LIBOR rate of 0.29% plus a 4% credit risk spread to value the foreign currency forward contracts. The Company used the one year LIBOR rate of 0.92% plus a 6% credit risk spread to value the interest rate swaps. See Note 6 for further information regarding the notional amount and duration of the interest rate swaps. See Note 14 regarding the notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts.

     The Company is required to categorize all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the above three levels.

	April 3, 2010
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	—	$	117	$	—	$	117

Interest rate swaps		—		2,725		—		2,725
Total liabilities	$	—	$	2,896	$	—	$	2,896

     The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of April 3, 2010 is as follows:

	Balance Sheet	Carrying		Fair
	Classification	Value		Value
Senior Floating Rate Notes	Liability	$	149,813	$	141,750
Senior Subordinated Notes	Liability		150,000		146,460

     To determine the fair value of the Notes, the Company utilized quoted prices for the debt instruments in the marketplace as well as market data for comparable securities, the credit rating of the Notes and the credit rating of the Company.

14. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     The Company’s cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages the exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments

22

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. Foreign currency forward contracts are entered into to manage exchange rate risk for portions of the Company’s forecasted U.S. dollar purchases by the Canada segment. Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

     Interest rate swaps were entered into to fix the variable interest rate portion of the Senior Floating Rate Notes. The Company swaps 3-month LIBOR rates for fixed interest rates to limit the exposure of changes in interest payments. The Company has structured all existing interest rate swap agreements to be perfectly effective. The Company designates the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The change in fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred taxes. The remaining gain or loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Gains and losses on the interest rate swaps are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as interest expense on the Senior Floating Rate Notes is accrued. See Note 6 for further information regarding the notional amounts and duration of the interest rate swaps. See Note 13 for further information regarding the fair value of the interest rate swaps.

     Foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, in accordance with US GAAP, the change in fair value is recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in earnings in the period of change. See Note 13 for further information regarding the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts.

     Other than standard cross default provisions if a default occurs across the organization, no credit-risk related-contingent features exist for the Company’s derivatives.

     The fair value of derivative instruments as of April 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009 is as follows:

     The Company expects $2,102 of net pretax losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of April 3, 2010 to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

     As of April 3, 2010, five foreign currency forward contracts remain outstanding with a total notional amount of $1,896.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

     During December 2004, a customer of the Company was named in litigation that involved UnionTools products. The complaint asserted causes of action against the defendant for improper advertisement to the end consumer. The allegation suggests that advertisements led the consumer to believe that the hand tools sold were manufactured within the boundaries of the United States. The allegation asserts cause of action against the customer for common law fraud. In the event that an adverse judgment is rendered against the customer, there is a possibility that the customer would seek legal recourse against the Company for an unspecified amount in contributory damages. Presently, the Company cannot estimate the amount of loss, if any, if the customer were to seek legal recourse against the Company.

     From approximately 1993 through 1999, the Company manufactured and sold 647,000 wheelbarrows with poly wheel hubs. Various claims were submitted, and lawsuits filed, to recover for injuries sustained while inflating tires on these wheelbarrows. In 2002, the Company participated in a voluntary ‘‘fast track’’ recall of these wheelbarrows with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”). The Company again voluntarily recalled these wheelbarrows in June 2004 in cooperation with the CPSC. However, less than 1% of the total products sold were returned, leaving an unknown number in service. To date, the Company has responded to 34 claims involving this product. All known claims have been resolved. Although the Company believes it has sufficient insurance coverage in place to cover these claims, a successful claim may exceed the limits of the Company’s coverage.

     During fiscal 2009, an underground fuel tank with surrounding soil contamination was discovered at the Frankfort, NY site which is the result of historical facility operations prior to the Company’s ownership. The Company is actively working with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Department of Health to comply with remediation efforts. The Company believes remediation will be completed by December 2010. During the quarterly period ended October 3, 2009, the Company recorded a charge to cost of goods sold for approximately $2,567 associated with the removal of the fuel oil tank and soil contamination. The change in the environmental liability for the Frankfort, NY site is as follows:

Balance as of October 3, 2009	$	2,541
Adjustments to estimates		—
Payments		1,202
Balance as of April 3, 2010	$	1,339

     In April 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Patent Group, LLC (“Patent Group”) for falsely marketing certain of products under 35 U.S.C. § 292. Patent Group claims the Company has marketed and sold certain leaf rakes marked with patent references that have expired with the intent to deceive the public and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Patent Group is seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. While the Company believes there are meritorious defenses to this claim, the Company is in the initial stages of investigating the matter and, accordingly, can make no prediction as to the outcome of this case.

     The Company is involved in lawsuits and claims, including certain environmental matters, arising out of the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability, if any, under pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

16. Other

     The Company applied for relief under the U. S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000, or “Byrd Amendment,” as a result of foreign manufacturers selling certain tools at unfair prices within the U. S. market. During December 2009 and December 2008, the Company received a distribution of tariffs collected in the amount of $3,259 and $2,983, respectively. These amounts were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

17. Subsequent Events

     The Company has evaluated subsequent events and has determined there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure.

Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009

     Net Sales.Overall net sales decreased primarily due to selling price reductions of approximately $5.4 million and a decrease in snow tool sales of $3.6 million. Decreases were partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $3.4 million and an increase in volume in other categories totaling $2.2 million. Snow tool declines resulted primarily from reduced demand in the Canada segment due to lower snowfall amounts in the 2009/2010 winter season.

     Gross Profit.Gross profit increased primarily due to favorable overheard absorption of $3.8 million and lower input costs including steel and certain purchased finished goods and components.

     Selling, General, and Administrative Expense (“SG&A”).SG&A increased primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation costs of $0.8 million.

     (Gain) Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets.Gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets includes miscellaneous sales of equipment.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets.Amortization expense is consistent with the prior period.

     Interest Expense.The average Revolving Loan balance in Q2 2010 was lower than in Q2 2009 which led to lower interest expense. Also, three interest rate swaps related to our Senior Floating Rate Notes (notional amount of $150 million) expired during the beginning of Q2 2010. The interest rate swap beginning in Q2 2010 reduced the effective interest on the Senior Floating Rate Notes to 5.97% and contributed to the decrease in interest expense in Q2 2010.

     Other Expense.Other expense for Q2 2010 primarily includes an unrealized loss of $0.7 million related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary and an unrealized gain of $0.2 million related to foreign currency forward contracts. Other expense for Q2 2009 primarily includes unrealized losses of $1.4 million on the intercompany note and $0.6 related to foreign currency forward contracts and

29

an unrealized gain of $0.1 related to the U.S. dollar bank account. Q2 2009 other expense also includes a realized gain of $0.8 million related to foreign currency forward contracts.

     Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense for Q2 2010 was primarily due to income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries, Canadian withholding taxes and U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. Due to an increase in operating income, additional accruals for foreign unremitted earnings were required for Q2 2010. Income tax expense for Q2 2009 was primarily due to the recording of additional valuation allowances and Canadian withholding taxes and interest on unrecognized tax benefits. As of April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance was necessary for substantially all of our U.S. domestic deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities. We expect to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until the Company can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets.

Our Segments

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we consummated an internal reorganization between our U.S. and Canada segments. Pursuant to this reorganization, our Canadian subsidiary transferred all of the outstanding shares of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a separate U.S. subsidiary. We have recast our Q2 2009 segment information as a result of this reorganization. The following table presents our net sales and operating income after intercompany eliminations by segment:

(Dollars in Millions)

	Q2			Q2			Increase/(Decrease)

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009

United States

     Net Sales.Overall net sales decreased mainly due to selling price reductions of approximately $4.7 million partially offset by an increase in volume of $4.4 million, including $1.8 million related to snow tool sales. Snow tool sales increased due to the transition of a customer to the U.S. segment from the Canada segment in the period ended January 2, 2010 (Q1 2010).

     Operating income. Operating income increased primarily due to favorable overheard absorption of $4.1 million and lower input costs including steel and certain purchased finished goods and components.

Canada

     Net Sales.Net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines of $6.2 million partially offset by favorable currency translation of $3.4 million. Volume declines of $1.8 million were due to the transition of a customer from the Canada segment to the U.S. segment in Q1 2010 as discussed above and lower snowfall

30

amounts in the 2009/2010 winter season as compared to the record snowfall amounts in the 2008/2009 winter season.

     Operating income.Operating income increased due to lower raw material costs and favorable currency translation.

Other

     Changes in net sales and operating loss for this segment were not significant for the periods presented.

     The table below and the following narrative compares our statements of operations for the twenty-six week period ended April 3, 2010 (“YTD 2010”) to the twenty-six week period ended March 28, 2009 (“YTD 2009”).

YTD 2010 compared to YTD 2009

     Net Sales.Overall net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines of $8.6 million and selling price reductions of approximately $6.3 million, partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $5.6 million. Snow tool declines resulted primarily from reduced demand in the Canada segment due to lower snowfall amounts in the 2009/2010 winter season.

     Gross Profit.Gross profit increased primarily due to favorable overhead absorption of $2.6 million and lower input costs including steel and certain purchased finished goods and components, partially offset by volume declines.

31

     Selling, General and Administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) Expenses.SG&A decreased primarily due to lower distribution expenses of $0.5 million attributed to a facility closure in fiscal 2009 and a $0.3 million increase in recoveries under the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 or “Byrd Amendment.” Decreases were partially offset by higher employee incentive compensation costs of $0.9 million. We recovered $3.3 million in Q1 2010 and $3.0 million in Q1 2009 under the Byrd Amendment. Future recoveries under the Byrd Amendment are unknown and cannot be reasonably assured.

     (Gain) Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets.Gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets includes miscellaneous sales of equipment.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets.Amortization expense is consistent with the prior period.

     Impairment Charge.The impairment charges of $0.5 million represent a write-down of an available for sale asset to fair value due to real estate market conditions. During the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 the asset no longer met the available for sale criteria and was reclassified as held for use.

     Interest Expense.The average Revolving Loan balance in YTD 2010 was lower than YTD 2009 which led to lower interest expense. Also, three interest rate swaps related to our Senior Floating Rate Notes (notional amount of $150 million) expired during the beginning of Q2 2010. The interest rate swap beginning in Q2 2010 reduced the effective interest on the Senior Floating Rate Notes to 6.17% and contributed to the decrease in interest expense in YTD 2010.

     Other Expense.Other expense for YTD 2010 primarily includes an unrealized loss of $1.5 million related to the U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary. Other expense for YTD 2010 also includes a realized loss of $0.5 million related to foreign currency forward contracts. Other expense for YTD 2009 includes $16.3 million of unrealized loss on the intercompany note. Losses were partially offset by unrealized gains of $2.1 million related to the U.S. dollar bank account and $0.6 million related to foreign currency forward contracts. YTD 2009 also includes an unrealized gain of $1.3 million related to foreign currency forward contracts.

     Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense for YTD 2010 was mainly comprised of income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries, Canadian withholding taxes and U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. Income tax expense for YTD 2009 was mainly comprised of additional valuation allowances and accrual of interest on unrecognized tax benefits partially offset by a reduction in current tax liabilities as a result of change in Canadian withholding tax rates. As of April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance was necessary for substantially all of our U.S. domestic deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities. The Company expects to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until it can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets.

Our Segments

     As a result of the internal reorganization described above, we have recast our YTD 2009 segment information. The following table presents our net sales and operating income after intercompany eliminations by segment for YTD 2010 and YTD 2009:

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

YTD 2010 compared to YTD 2009

United States

     Net Sales.Overall net sales decreased primarily due to selling price reductions of approximately $5.7 million and volume declines of $3.0 million (excluding snow tool sales). Volume declines were partially offset by an increase in snow tool volume of $6.8 million of which $4.3 million was due to the transition of a customer to the U.S. segment from the Canada segment in Q1 2010. Also during Q1 2010, the U.S. experienced heavy snowfall in certain densely populated areas which attributed to the increase in volume in snow tools.

     Operating income. Operating income increased due to favorable overhead absorption of $3.6 million, lower depreciation expense of $1.4 million, lower distribution expenses of $0.5 million related to a facility closure in fiscal 2009 and an increase of $0.3 million in Byrd Amendment recoveries as discussed above. Operating income for YTD 2009 also includes impairment charges of $0.5 million related to the write-down of an available for sale asset to fair value due to the real estate market conditions at that time.

Canada

     Net Sales.Net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines of $12.1 million partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $5.6 million. Volume declines of $4.3 million were due to the transition of a customer from the Canada segment to the U.S. segment in Q1 2010 as discussed above.

     Operating income.Operating income decreased due to lower sales volume related to snow tools.

Other

     Changes in net sales and operating loss for this segment were not significant for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our principal liquidity requirements are to service our debt and meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs. We expect to be able to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months through cash provided by operations and borrowings available under our Revolving Loan. We commenced a process to extend the maturity of our Revolving Loan or to refinance borrowings prior to maturity in April 2011. In addition, we will need to refinance our Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes on or before maturity in 2012. We cannot assure you that we will be able to extend or refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

	YTD			YTD			Increase/(Decrease)
	2010			2009			$			%

Net cash provided by financing activities		10.7			41.8			(31.1	)		(74.4	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

     The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily the result of a larger change in trade payables in YTD 2010 due to reduced inventory levels and corresponding payables at the end of fiscal 2009, partially offset by increased trade receivables due to discontinuing a cash discount program with a significant customer.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

     Purchases of property, plant and equipment are generally the main investing activity of the Company. We do not anticipate purchases of property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2010 to deviate significantly from historical purchase levels.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

     The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to lower net borrowings under our Revolving Loan.

Debt and Other Obligations

     Total indebtedness is as follows:

	April 3,			October 3,

The Base Rate is calculated at the higher of 1) the prevailing Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or 2) the administrative agent’s prime interest rate plus an applicable rate determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined by the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
(c)	LIBOR represents the three month London Interbank Offered Rate which resets quarterly. LIBOR was .25% as of January 13, 2010. January 13, 2010 is the reset date for the April 15, 2010 interest payment.
(d)	Interest payments are in cash and paid in arrears.
(e)	The Senior Floating Rate Notes do not have a redemption premium. The Senior Subordinated Notes have a redemption price of 102.5% of principal on or after July 15, 2009 and 100% of principal on or after July 15, 2010.
(f)	As of April 3, 2010 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its indebtedness agreements.

Revolving Loan

     On April 7, 2006, we entered into the Revolving Loan with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The Revolving Loan is a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $130.0 million, including a sub-facility for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million and a sub-facility for swing-line loans in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million. Our obligations under the Revolving Loan are guaranteed by ATT Holding Co. and collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Ames True Temper, Inc. and Ames True Temper Properties, Inc. Future domestic subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the obligations and grant a lien on substantially all of their assets.

     The terms of the Revolving Loan include various covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional liens, incur additional indebtedness and make additional investments. In addition, we are prohibited from incurring capital expenditures exceeding $15.0 million in any fiscal year (subject to the right to carry over the unused portion to the following year). In addition, upon the occurrence of “Cash Dominion Trigger,” we will be required to have Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Revolving Loan, of at least $41.0 million for each period of four fiscal quarters. Under the Revolving Loan, a Cash Dominion Trigger shall have occurred if (1) an event of default under the Revolving Loan shall have occurred or (2) availability under the Revolving Loan falls below certain thresholds. The Revolving Loan also includes customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross defaults to other indebtedness and bankruptcy related defaults.

Senior Floating Rate Notes

     The Senior Floating Rate Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent and all domestic subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis. The Senior Floating Rate Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the assets securing such debt, including borrowings under the senior secured credit facility,pari passuwith all future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future senior subordinated debt, including our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, and effectively behind all of the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables.

     The indenture governing the Senior Floating Rate Notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including but not limited to those limiting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, guarantee debt or sell

35

preferred stock, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make specified types of investments, sell stock in our restricted subsidiaries, restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell assets or merge with other companies. The indenture governing the Senior Floating Rate Notes also contains various events of default, including but not limited to those related to non-payment of principal, interest or fees; failure to perform or observe certain covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy related events, monetary judgment defaults and material non-monetary judgment defaults, ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) defaults and change of control. In addition, we are required to redeem the Senior Floating Rate Notes under certain circumstances involving changes of control.

Senior Subordinated Notes

     The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent, ATT Holding Co. and all domestic subsidiaries, on a senior subordinated basis. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and rank behind all of our existing and future senior debt, including borrowings under the Revolver Loan, equally with any of our future senior subordinated debt, ahead of any of our future debt that expressly provides for subordination to the Senior Subordinated Notes and effectively behind all of the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables.

     The indenture governing Senior Subordinated Notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including but not limited to those limiting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, guarantee debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain investments, sell stock in our restricted subsidiaries, restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell assets or merge with other companies. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains various events of default, including but not limited to those related to non-payment of principal, interest or fees; violations of certain covenants; certain bankruptcy-related events; invalidity of liens; non-payment of certain legal judgments and cross defaults with certain other indebtedness. We are required to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes under certain circumstances involving changes of control.

Other Debt

     The Term Note contains customary events of default (subject to customary exceptions, thresholds and grace periods), including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and failure to perform or observe certain covenants.

Interest Rate Swaps

     The Senior Floating Rate Notes have an interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 4%. We have entered into interest rate swaps that fix the variable rate portion of the interest rate as follows:

(Dollars in Thousands)

     As of April 3, 2010, the interest rate swaps were recorded as a liability of $2.9 million. The change in fair value for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended April 3, 2010 was recognized as a reduction of other comprehensive income of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, net of taxes, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     As of April 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

     As of April 3, 2010, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $1.8 million. We do not expect a significant tax payment related to these obligations within the next year, however, due to the uncertainty of the timing of these tax positions we have not included this liability in the above table.

Financial Position

     Working capital as of April 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was as follows:

* Greater than 100%.

     Our working capital as of April 3, 2010 increased compared to our working capital as of October 3, 2009 mainly due to higher trade receivables and inventory as a result of the heavy Spring selling season. The increase in working capital was partially offset by an increase in trade payables and the Revolving Loan balance as a result higher inventory levels.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Our cash flows, results of operations and financial position are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. Other than standard cross default provisions if a default occurs across the organization, no credit-risk related-contingent features exist for our derivatives. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.

Interest Rate Risk

     Our primary market risk is interest rate exposure with respect to our floating rate debt, which includes the Senior Floating Rate Notes and Revolving Loan. The interest rate on the Senior Floating Rate Notes at April 3, 2010 was 4.3%. The interest rate on the Revolving Loan at April 3, 2010 was 2.0%. As of April 3, 2010, we had two outstanding interest rate swaps. These swaps effectively fix the variable interest rate portion of the Senior Floating Rate Notes. See ‘‘Debt and Other Obligations – Senior Floating Rate Notes’’ and ‘‘— Interest Rate Swaps.’’ We estimate a 1% change in Revolving Loan interest rates would impact interest expense by approximately $0.3 million.

Foreign Operations; Currency Risk

     We conduct foreign operations primarily in Canada and Ireland and utilize international suppliers and manufacturers. For the remainder of fiscal year 2010, we have hedged $1.9 million of our forecasted

38

Canadian subsidiary operations purchases that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, on September 1, 2007 a Canadian subsidiary issued a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany note in the principal amount of $105 million to a U.S. subsidiary as part of an internal legal entity reorganization. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the internal legal entity reorganization was reversed and a portion of the balance outstanding under the intercompany note was repaid. The remaining outstanding balance under the intercompany note was paid in full in Q2 2010. As a result, we are subject to risk from changes in foreign exchange rates. These changes result in either cumulative translation adjustments, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), or realized and unrealized gains and losses which are included in other expense. As of April 3, 2010, a hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would decrease income before income taxes by $0.8 million.

Raw Material; Commodity Price Risk

     We purchase certain raw materials such as resin, steel and wood that are subject to price volatility caused by unpredictable factors. Where possible, we employ fixed rate raw material purchase contracts and customer price adjustments to help us to manage this risk. We do not currently manage our raw materials risk through the use of derivative instruments.

Item 4T.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of April 3, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

In April 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Patent Group, LLC (“Patent Group”) for falsely marketing certain of products under 35 U.S.C. § 292. Patent Group claims the Company has marketed and sold certain leaf rakes marked with patent references that have expired with the intent to deceive the public and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Patent Group is seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. While the Company believes there are meritorious defenses to this claim, the Company is in the initial stages of investigating the matter and, accordingly, can make no prediction as to the outcome of this case.

Item 5.Other Information

On May 11, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Daniel Yurovich. The term of the employment agreement is one year and it will be automatically renewed for consecutive one-year periods, unless within 60 days prior to the expiration of the employment term, either party to the agreement provides notice of its election to terminate the agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Yurovich will receive a base salary of $216,315. Mr. Yurovich’s base salary is subject to increase from time to time, solely at the Company’s discretion. Mr. Yurovich is eligible to receive a discretionary bonus based on the achievement of individual performance objectives and the Company’s achievement of certain objectives approved by the board of directors or compensation committee of CHATT Holdings LLC.

In the event of a termination of Mr. Yurovich’s employment by reason of death or “permanent disability,’’ as defined in the employment agreement, by the Company for “due cause,’’ as defined in the employment agreement, or by Mr. Yurovich voluntarily, the Company will have no further obligation to Mr. Yurovich (or his estate) except for salary and benefits accrued through the termination date. In the case of a termination based on permanent disability, Mr. Yurovich will also be entitled to any benefits provided under our disability insurance policy. If Mr. Yurovich is terminated by the Company without due cause or if he terminates employment for “good reason,’’ as defined in the employment agreement, then Mr. Yurovich will be entitled to receive severance in an amount equal to his base salary and benefits for twelve months following termination, payable at regular payroll intervals.
